Abstract
Np2Mo3Si4 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Np3+ is bonded to seven Si4- atoms to form distorted NpSi7 pentagonal bipyramids that share corners with four equivalent MoSi6 octahedra, corners with six equivalent NpSi7 pentagonal bipyramids, corners with five equivalent MoSi6 pentagonal pyramids, edges with three equivalent NpSi7 pentagonal bipyramids, edges with two equivalent MoSi6 pentagonal pyramids, faces with two equivalent MoSi6 octahedra, faces with two equivalent NpSi7 pentagonal bipyramids, and faces with four equivalent MoSi6 pentagonal pyramids. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 46–54°. There are a spread of Np–Si bond distances ranging from 2.81–2.98 Å. There are two inequivalent Mo+3.33+ sites. In the first Mo+3.33+ site, Mo+3.33+ is bonded to six Si4- atoms to form distorted MoSi6 pentagonal pyramids that share corners with three equivalent MoSi6 octahedra, corners with five equivalent NpSi7 pentagonal bipyramids, corners with four equivalent MoSi6 pentagonal pyramids, edges with two equivalent NpSi7 pentagonal bipyramids, edges with four equivalent MoSi6 pentagonal pyramids, faces with two equivalent MoSi6 octahedra, and faces with four equivalent NpSi7 pentagonal bipyramids. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 40–41°. There are a spread of Mo–Si bond distances ranging from 2.55–2.62 Å. In the second Mo+3.33+more »
